  1. When I see what people are listening to, it bugs me. Some people turn on the radio, and stop there. I dig some mainstream acts, The Foo Fighters, The Cardigans, Everclear, and a few others, so it's not that. It's the notion of people sheltering themselves from music that's not on the radio, or music from other regions that never breaks through in North America. It's so boring to walk the path that everyone else has. Turning on the radio is akin to taking a stroll in the mall. It's not interesting. Branch off from that path, and go hiking, find the less traveled trails, they're more interesting. Hipsters have ruined this argument, and fashion, and subsequently street photography. When you go out to do some street photography, everyone is dressed in some gaudy way that makes them dreadful to look at. Even if you dress well people still think 'hipster', they've ruined fashion, and given 99% of the music out there a bad rep. Only about 1% of bands get their music heard by a wide audience.

    1. @pizzicato Does it help if I say I never listen to the radio unless I really have to, and listen a lot to artists many haven't heard of? Also, I fully agree with you.
